Brigitte Macron Ignores Royal Protocol in Meeting with Queen Camilla
Brigitte Macron made a royal blunder when she attempted to hold Queen Camilla’s hand during a service to mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day Landings in Normandy, France. After laying wreaths at a memorial, Brigitte reached for Camilla as they backed away to pay their respects.
Queen Camilla did not reciprocate the gesture and kept her hands by her side, leading to an awkward moment as Brigitte quickly grasped the 76-year-old’s palm before letting go. A video published by the Daily Mail captured the exchange, showing the two women then bowing their heads in silence before walking back to their respective husbands.
On the other hand, King Charles III had a more casual approach to etiquette during the meeting. The 75-year-old greeted Brigitte, 71, with a kiss on the hand when they first came face-to-face at the memorial.
